The other day i was towing my horse trailer. Got into à stick position. Tried rocking truck from 1st to r as i was locked into 4wd. Its à zf5 trans. Now it wont go into any gear what so ever. Any ideas??????????????????

It wont go into gears 1-4 or reverse. Either with truck running or Shut off. It only goes into overdrive. There is no grinding. It just wont go into any gear but od. Like something is not allowing it to do anything.

Something's going on with the shift forks, etc. at the top of the tranny. Lift up the boot, pull the shifter, then remove the top cover where the shifter enters the tranny, and start looking around. There might just be something out of place there.

Would it be better or easier To just drop the trans and inspect it out of vehicle? I pulled that cover off on top and looked down inside and didnt see anything really messed up. Pulled the side cover on ds earlier to inspect bottom gears anf didnt see anything out of place. Took à magnet to the fluid and didnt see any sign of métal shavings. But i dont know hardly anything as far as what to look for on the inside. Its my first zf trans
